The embargo applies to all potential WOC 2014 team-members (runners, team leaders, coaches, doctors, etc.) as well as to all others with strong links to elite squads. The embargo means that:

• No organised orienteering of any kind may take place in the embargoed areas until after WOC 2014;
• No training sessions, i.e. running/races, testing route choices etc. are allowed in these areas;
• No-one with potential connections to a team (athlete or any other function) may visit the embargoed terrain;
• In the towns of Venice, Trento, Levico, access is not permitted in the embargoed areas. Tourism, use of orienteering maps, running training of all kinds and routechoice testing is not allowed in these areas.

The SEA:s have decided that the following accommodations inside or bordering the current embargo are allowed to be used by WOC teams before and during the Championships: - Albergo Da Villa.

Burano

The sprint qualification will be held in the Burano and Mazzorbo islands. This area is partly urban with very narrow streets and a canal with bridges. The rest of the area is less
built and more green with some farmland. The area will be closed for traffic.

Venezia S. Elena

The sprint final will be held in the center of Venice known for its old urban centre with narrow streets and small canals. All races will take place in the historical center.
The area will be closed for traffic.

Trento

The sprint relay will take place in the historical center of Trento. Most of the competition terrain (70-80%) is paved urban area and the rest is park area. The area is flat
and characterized by perpendicular Roman streets with medieval influence.

Lavarone Vezzena

The long distance final will be held in the hills and valleys of Lavarone, in stretches of alpine, pine, spruce and beech forest. The terrain is a mix of areas with good visibility,
forest with good running condition, and areas where vegetation is more dense and running speed is reduced.

Campomulo Marcesina

The middle distance final is organized in Campomulo, which is part of Asiago karstic highland, at 1500-1700 meters above sea level. The landscape is characterized
by many terraces, divided by steeper areas. The vegetation varies from alpine pastures to open forest, mainly coniferous, and the ground surface is very rocky throughout reducing the runnability in the forest.
Trenches from World War are very common in this area. The network of paths, tracks and roads is not very dense. Cross country ski tracks exist in parts of the area.
